AutoHotkey premium features need to work for all controllers (or at least the selected controller)

[Shawn Brown]

I am using Launchbox Version 5.9-beta-14. I am using Windows 10. Since the latest beta update I am no longer able to exit games using AutoHotKey. I originally had it set to hold my select button and press start. It now will not allow me to use the 'select' key for some reason. I have tried all different key combinations and none work. This is also a issue with Big Box.

Hi Shawn, thanks for reporting this. I assume you have multiple controllers connected? AutoHotkey was causing awful lockups and such due to Microsoft's DirectInput bugs (see the changelog in beta 14). Unfortunately in beta 14 (and possibly going forward) I had to force AutoHotkey to only use the first attached controller because it was causing lockups on many different systems.

This definitely needs fixed but I don't have an immediate solution. I will dive deeper into it eventually. Either way, though, curious to know if you have multiple controllers connected and if this is a deal breaker for you. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I do have two controllers but usually only use controller 1. I did try and test both controllers but neither work.

Unplug your second controller and see if that changes the result?

[Shawn Brown]

They are Bluetooth PS3 controllers. So technically the second on isn't connect unless I turn it on.

Sometimes the close functionality has issues if the emulator isn't configured to close with Escape. Have you tried testing all of the various options? Close, focus LaunchBox, and volume?

[Shawn Brown]

I have tested all and none of the functions are working.
